You had your fill of turkey on Thanksgiving, so you do not want to be stuck with more turkeys in your fantasy football lineup this weekend.

Week 12 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

The more things change, the more they stay the same. The Patriots continued to cement themselves as the premier fantasy defense in football, and San Francisco, Baltimore, and Cleveland took advantage of prime matchups. We also had Chicago catapult into the top-10 once Lamar Jackson and Marquise Brown were ruled out, but that didn't mean... Read More

Week 12 Kicker Streamers and Starts – 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

As the season chugs along, it's important for fantasy managers to keep tabs on injuries across the different offenses in the NFL. That seems like common sense and it is really, but how many times do we think of paying attention to those things for kickers? Prior to Kyler Murray's sprained ankle, Matt Prater was... Read More

Finding Tight End Breakouts - Champs, Chumps, and Contenders

As fantasy football continues to grow in popularity there's a never-ending source of statistics and numbers to dissect a player's value. We often hear the moniker "knowledge is power", but it takes time to comb through all the data. Other positions' key stats are a bit easier and well-known. When it comes to tight ends,... Read More

Thanksgiving Week is arguably the greatest sports week of the year.

DraftKings NFL DFS Lineup Picks - Week 12: Break The Slate

Hi there, RotoBallers, and welcome back to Break The Slate! It's great to be back talking NFL DFS with you! In what's been a recurring theme this season, we once again saw a "can't miss" DFS spot underperform in Week 11, with the DAL vs KC game largely disappointing. It was a great reminder that...

NBA Waiver Wire Streamers for Fantasy Basketball Week 7 (Nov 29 - Dec 5)

If your bottom-of-the-bench guy is underperforming and your patience is running out, don't get too attached. A streaming spot could provide much better value, and certainly more flexibility in chasing the categories you're looking to strengthen against your next week's opponent. As always, we're looking ahead to the NBA schedule for next week and pointing... Read More

Kevin Huerter (SG/SF, ATL): Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Redhead Mamba started the season slowly and came off the pine as part of Atlanta's second unit nightly. No bueno. The Hawks had a rough start to the year on top of that, and with Huerter limited to just 23 MPG... Read More

Matisse Thybulle (SG/SF, PHI): Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 52% of leagues ANALYSIS: Saying Matisse Thybulle is a one-of-a-kind type of player isn't too far-fetched, folks. And I'm just not talking about cherry-picking stats here and there to elevate the Sixer, no sir. Thybs has definitely benefited from the absence of the likes of Joel... Read More

Malik Beasley (PG/SG, MIN): Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 32% of leagues ANALYSIS: Rollercoaster of a season for Malik Beasley, this one. He started the year with four consecutive stinkers, improved to a very tasty number to kick November off, then came back to hell for a week, and in the past five games he's played... Read More

Pat Connaughton (SG/SF, MIL): Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Bucks are still missing Donte DiVincenzo and although Khris Middleton is back on the court after missing a few games--of which Pat Connaughton took great care starting at both forward positions--Patty keeps playing ample time nightly while delivering sound performances for... Read More

Alex Caruso (PG/SG, CHI): Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 58% of leagues ANALYSIS: My boss is going to kill me the minute he sees this post because that 58-percent rostership is way above the threshold... only I'm my own boss so I'll give myself a pass because the Bald Boy Alex Caruso deserves this type... Read More

Kelly Oubre Jr. (SF/PF, CHA): Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 56% of leagues ANALYSIS: Second week in a row I'm breaking the rostership-law thanks the Wave Papi. Makes sense, though. Kelly Oubre Jr. has been a freakish revelation coming off the pine for the Hornets, and so should he be doing for you in pretty much... Read More

Anfernee Simons (PG/SG, POR): Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: The best Anfernee since Penny Hardaway. Anfernee Simons is balling for the Blazers this season yet he's somehow heavily flying under the radar of most fantasy GMs out there. Damn. I could have understood that in years past if only because of... Read More

ADP Showdown: Byron Buxton vs Adalberto Mondesi

One of the hardest things to do in fantasy baseball for players and contributors alike is to project playing time. Games played, plate appearances, and at-bats are the basis on which we project hits, home runs, walks, and all the various counting stats that make up various fantasy baseball formats. It is where rate stats... Read More

Patty Mills (PG/SG, BKN): Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS: As long as Kyrie Irving remains unvaccinated and thus ineligible to play for the Nets (or he gets traded away in exchange for another point guard), Patty Mills will stay as the main beneficiary of Irving stubborn ways. And things have gotten... Read More

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (PG/SG, WAS): Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS: Not a single game. Not a single one has KCP missed this season when it comes to being part of the Wiz Kiz starting lineup, manning the SF slot 19 times already to kick the year off. Quarter of a season in... Read More
